A solid wood antique tea chest originally used in American trade for the storage and transport of loose tea, with slatted construction, iron corner brackets, and age-appropriate wear throughout. Best styled at the foot of a bed, in an entryway, or as a coffee table, where its scale and history can anchor the space.
Provenance: Likely late 19th/ early 20th century, used in American commercial trade for the transport and storage of loose tea.
Condition: There is a punctured hole on the right side and the rope handles are both torn/unusable. Wear is consistent with age and utilitarian use.
